| In a couple of weeks there will be a special tournament in my local gamestore. The rules are - everyone makes a codex legal army list of at least 1200 points - you try to make the army list as weak as possible - before the tournament you draw an army list and you'll have to try and score well with that army.
There will probably be prizes for the best general and the army list that ends last.
At first I was thinkig about taking Vect in the Dais with mandrakes, just because it would be such a big point investment. I fear however that Vect will be too powerful and that the AV13 of the Dais will pose a problem, because a lot of armies won't have any anti tank at all. I'll probably go for The Decapitator instead.
As troop choices I was thinking about 2 5 man warrior squads, a sybarite with ccw (to reduce the splinter fire) and a phantasm grenade launcher to increase their point cost, without adding a lot of real utility.
The elite slot will consist of 3 10 man trueborn squads with pistol and ccw. A dracon with a splinter rifle will make it a bit more expensive. I'm thinking about giving them haywire grenades, because I doubt there will be a lot of vehicles in the tournament. They won't get plasma grenades though, I want them at I1 if they have to charge through terrain.
Fast: 3 squads of 5 beastmasters without beasts
I'm not sure what else to add to the list. I want to keep everything on foot, because fast vehicles will be a major advantage. I also don't want to add a lot more troops if possible, to make objective based missions harder.

| This is what I've come up with so far.
Kheradruakh Archon with haywire grenades, ghostplate armour, combat drugs, soul-trap phantasm launcher, webway portal
10 Trueborn with haywire grenades, ccw and pistol, dracon with ghostplate armour 10 Trueborn with haywire grenades, ccw and pistol, dracon with ghostplate armour 10 Trueborn with haywire grenades, ccw and pistol, dracon with ghostplate armour
5 beastmasters, 1 with a venom blade (no beasts) 5 beastmasters, 1 with a venom blade (no beasts) 5 beastmasters, 1 with a venom blade (no beasts)
5 Kabalite Warriors, sybarite with ghostplate armour, phantasm launcher, splinter pistol and ccw 5 Kabalite Warriors, sybarite with ghostplate armour, phantasm launcher, splinter pistol and ccw
Cronos Parasite Engine
This should total to 1205 points. There are a couple of choices I'm not sure about, but I can't really think of anything to make the list weaker without adding too much bodies. I fear it might still do quite good against some of the other armies. Some help or insights would be appreciated. | |

| I'm pretty sure Agonisers have the worst kill/pt ratio of all specials against chaff like basic IG. 5 Beastmasters all with Agos come in @ 160 and do absolutely jack squat.
Have fun. _________________ ........... ~ Drazhar, Master of Blades

| At first I was reluctant to add power weapons, but you're right: it'll barely make a difference for beastmasters. I also added an agonier to one of the kabalite squads and a power weapon to the other one. This allowed me to drop the Cronos. Which changes the list to:
Kheradruakh Archon with haywire grenades, ghostplate armour, combat drugs, soul-trap phantasm launcher, webway portal
10 Trueborn with haywire grenades, ccw and pistol, dracon with ghostplate armour 10 Trueborn with haywire grenades, ccw and pistol, dracon with ghostplate armour 10 Trueborn with haywire grenades, ccw and pistol, dracon with ghostplate armour
5 beastmasters, 1 with an agoniser (no beasts) 5 beastmasters, 1 with an agoniser (no beasts) 5 beastmasters, 1 with an agoniser (no beasts)
5 Kabalite Warriors, sybarite with ghostplate armour, phantasm launcher, splinter pistol and agoniser 5 Kabalite Warriors, sybarite with ghostplate armour, phantasm launcher, splinter pistol and power weapon
Total: 1200
I'm glad I got the Cronos out. I think it's high toughness would have been nasty for some of the opponents. It's ap3 flamer could have been painful too.
Some of my opponents were discussing their choices. There will be an ork player with Mad Dok Grotsnik and a boatload of gretchin with cybork bodies. A Tau player was talking about crisis suits without ranged weapons. The marine players seemed to have a hard time coming up with bad lists.

hmm i wonder why I feel that combat drugs on the archon is too good and that mandrakes would be "better" than trueborn. _________________ Forum Rules - Read and Obey - Or Else!

Personally I'd remove the webway portal and the drugs to the archon! With the WWP this could be a "nasty" list with all these DEs running from the portal! Add 3-4 kabalite warrior instead of them, they'll do "better" in my opinion | |

| I'd try two options, first ist simmilar to your approach. Buying expensive crap units and giving them overpriced upgrades that contradict their Battlefield role and/or each other.
HQ Decapitator_____________________________________________________140 <-- Crap Archon +Blaster, Blast Pistol, Haywire Grenades, Combat Drugs, Clone Field__135 <-- Can't use all of his guns and will suck in cc
Elites Mandrakes x9 +Nightfiend__________________________________________160 Mandrakes x9 +Nightfiend__________________________________________160 Mandrakes x9 +Nightfiend__________________________________________160 <--Crap
Troops Warriors x4 +Shredder, Sybarite, Ghostplate, Blastpistol, Agoniser___________105 Warriors x4 +Shredder, Sybarite, Ghostplate, Blastpistol, Agoniser___________105 <--ok, but too few and to much upgrades
Fast Attack Beastmasters x5 +Agoniser__________________________________________80 Beastmasters x5 +Agoniser__________________________________________80 Beastmasters x5 +Agoniser__________________________________________80 <-- just silly ________________________________________________________________________1205
My second approach, more complex, but in my opinion more promising, would be to buy as few, as expensive models as possible and anti tank, since there will be next to no vehicles.
HQ Decapitator_______________________________________140 <-- crap Drazhar__________________________________________230 <-- can't join any of the units and is a T3 2+ 3W model. Even lasguns will kill him
Elites Mandrakes x2 +Nightfiend____________________________55 Mandrakes x2 +Nightfiend____________________________55 Mandrakes x2 +Nightfiend____________________________55 <-- crap in smaller numbers
Troops Warriors x4 +Sybarite, Ghostplate, Blastpistol, Agoniser ____100 Warriors x4 +Sybarite, Ghostplate, Blastpistol, Agoniser ____100 <-- only ok units, but fragile, on foot and to many useless upgrades
Fast Attack Beastmasters x1 +Agoniser____________________________22 Beastmasters x1 +Agoniser____________________________22 <-- even more silly
Heavy Support Voidraven Bomber__________________________________145 Voidraven Bomber__________________________________145 Voidraven Bomber__________________________________145 <-- ok, these aren't crap per se, but they are much too expensive and without vehicles as targets they fire their lances at infantry. Thats 435 pts for around 4 kills, if that isn't overpriced, I don't know what is. __________________________________________________1214 _________________ I must rule with eye and claw — as the hawk among lesser birds.

I've seen many people (Especially outside Italy) writing their list in this manner But my question is: It's a crap tournament, there will be all crap units... I think that 30 Mandrakes deploying using infiltration can be really a threat to many crap lists xD I think that smaller groups it's better (And you can use these point to add other naked warriors or naked wiches) | |

Crappy choices, ok synergy. Will play ok against other crappy choices.
Appear, try not to die, wait till footslogging girls and monsters arrive.
If any SM take Termi or Drednaughts - call em cheaters )). They should be mass scouts army supported by techmarines and thunderfire cannons, and some speeders. | |

Unfortunately I'm not the proud owner of 30 mandrakes (is anyone?), but I could swap out 1 trueborn squad for 10 mandrakes with nightfiend. - Unoi90 wrote:

I think the wwp will only be an advantage in a dawn of war deployment, where it can be dropped in a nice central position. In the other deployments hel'll have to drop it on turn 1 or risk having to come in from the board edge. The army will still have to cross a large part of the table and they'll come piecemeal instead of in a wave. I don't really expect a lot of long range shooting in the other lists, so crossing the table shouldn't be too much of a problem. - Tiri Rana wrote:

In objective missions the bombers will be very powerful though. A lot of the other lists would have great trouble bringing one of them down, so they'd be ideal to contest. - Shadows Revenge wrote:

Against a normal army this would indeed be the case. I don't expect a lot of long range shoting in the other army lists though. Even if less than half of the wyches survive crossing the table, they'll still slaughter stuff like close combat crisis suits or gretchin blobs. Their combat drugs will make them even deadlier against such opposition. I think I prefer the mandrakes and assaultborn: no invul save in close combat, no combat drugs, comparable point cost. - Azdrubael wrote:

But I don't want them to to do ok. One of the opponents will be playin my list. For the same reason I don't expect to see any dreads or terminators. This is the updated list. I dropped one of the assaultborn squads for mandrakes. The archon has some more toys, although I'm not sure about the 2 guns: it's still 1 shot that kan instakill a lot of things. HQ Decapitator----------------------------------------140 Archon, haywire grenades, blast pistol, blaster, wwp, ghostplate, phantasm launcher---160 Elite 10 Mandrakes, nightfiend---------------------------160 10 assaultborn hwg, dracon with ghostplate---------155 10 assaultborn hwg, dracon with ghostplate---------155 Fast 5 Beastmasters, agoniser, no beasts---------------------------80 5 Beastmasters, agoniser, no beasts---------------------------80 5 Beastmasters, agoniser, no beasts---------------------------80 Troops 5 Kabalite Warriors, sybarite: launcher, ghostplate power weapon---95 5 Kabalite Warriors, sybarite: launcher, ghostplate power weapon---95 This is probably the worst list in the tournament: Chaos Marines -Sorcerer with 1 power (cant remember which one) -5 chaos marines -5 chaos marines -as many lesser daemon squads as possible The lesser daemons in the chaos marine codex have to start in reserve an can only enter the table near an icon. It's not mission this list will auto lose unless he can table the opponent, which would be quite a feat with about 250 points on the table. | |
